Sunday's episode of "The Walking Dead" introduced yet another new community of survivors to the ever-expanding world of the show: Oceanside.

Comic readers may have raised their eyebrows at the adaptation of Oceanside, a community which comes up in the comics and is mentioned again in the series' Telltale video game adaptation.

Oceanside is introduced a little later in the comics. While the group of survivors lives on the coast and scavenges for fish like in the show, it is not a community made up of only women. As far as we know, Negan never found the group and killed all of the men. They stayed pretty hidden and out of sight on the water most of the time.

Michonne actually ends up leaving Alexandria for a period of time to set sail with some of the fishermen and women from Oceanside to clear her mind.

Telltale's latest "Walking Dead" game follows Michonne's time with Pete and Siddiq, members of the Oceanside crew. It looks like we won't be seeing either of their characters on the show.

Michonne heads off on her own for over 10 issues of "The Walking Dead" comic. Fans learn in Telltale's Michonne miniseries that she was with some of the Oceanside crew during that time. Here she is with Pete. Telltale

While Tara stumbles across the Oceanside community in the comics, it's Siddiq, a character who appears in the game and the comics, who finds the seafaring community. He lives with them for a time before meeting Rick and the Alexandria community and starting to trade goods with them. Unlike the group of women we see in the show, the comic group did not have a rule to kill on sight. They were all much friendlier.

Oceanside's entry this early onto the "Walking Dead" series could be to kickstart an uprising against Negan and the Saviors.

The first half of season seven has been about showing off the larger world and the communities who either live in fear of the Saviors or who have forcibly given in to his will. Though Rick has told the Alexandrians they do not have the numbers alone — or the weapons anymore — to take on the Saviors on their own, it's becoming quite obvious that a teamup between communities to take down Negan is inevitable.

While Tara promised her new friend Cyndie she would never speak about their group or their whereabouts, we have a feeling that they may change now that she knows her girlfriend Denise was also killed by the Saviors.
